Dajuan Lamont Thomas, who was already jailed at the Otero County Detention Center on unrelated charges, is charged with one count each of armed robbery, unlawful carrying of a firearm into a licensed liquor establishment, larceny over $500 but less than $2,500, conspiracy, disposing of stolen property and felon in possession of a firearm, detective Lt. Dusty Collins said.

Collins said Thomas is also charged with two counts each of assault with intent to commit a violent felony, tampering with evidence and false imprisonment.

Thomas' bond was increased by $125,000 no-10 percent for his new charges pending his appearance in court.

Collins said ADPS officers responded to the Alamo Quik Pik gasoline and convenience store, 1501 Indian Wells Road, around 6 p.m. Dec. 15 in reference to an armed robbery.

He said upon arrival, officers learned from store employees that a man wearing a ski mask entered the business and brandished a firearm.

Collins said the suspect obtained an undetermined amount of cash from store employees.

He said the suspect was last seen fleeing the area on foot.

Collins said subsequent to continued investigation and crime laboratory analysis of evidence collected at the Alamo Quik Pik robbery crime scene, Thomas was charged.
